Yep, my tax return came in early, so I went and bought my new N-Gage QD, and let me tell you, what a F@#$£§G brilliant device! The only downside is that the N-Gage Arena Launcher doesn't work with my pre-paid/pay and go SIM... :'(

At least I can play two-player games over a bluetooth connection now (I also own an original N-Gage)...
I got mine today too! Got the PCSuite working, and am able to browse the web via my shared LAN over Bluetooth! THPS rocks! 😃

Isn't the new-look menu cool? A BIG improvement on the standard Series 60 menu appearance... And the ability to back-up game files? No more manual back-ups... Yay!
I just got mine yesterday, too, and I'm much more impressed than I thought I'd be. Great phone (wish it was tri-band, tho), and very impressive gaming platform. I've been playing Tiger Woods, Ashen and Tomb Raider a little too much, and they're much more than GBA could ever hope to do. I also played around with Arena yesterday, and that is the one thing that I think will set the NGage apart and create a nice little niche than PSP and DS can't touch. I just hope the games keep coming.

Well, DS will have WiFi you know, with chat etc. a bit like Arena.... 😉

Yeah but seriously, how many households have Wi-Fi? Very few, that's for sure...
Hoo-hah, I got RealPlayer up and running, with some movies already converted and saved on my MMC! I also found out that the QD will play MP3s through the Voice Recorder app. I tried ReadM, and couldnt get it to play MP3s at all, and Im going to try UltraMP3 next, just for comparison. This thing is a chick magnet. 😃 "No way! Thats really Smallville? On your phone??!?!?!"
Oh, and Bluejacking is addictive.

I didn't have much luck with playing MP3s through Voice Recorder - it seems to be finnicky about the bitrates that it supports. On the other hand, I had a great deal of success with ReadM...
